Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris katG encodes a catalase-peroxidase that has a role in protecting the bacterium against micromolar concentrations of H(2)O(2). A knockout mutation in katG that causes loss of catalase-peroxidase activity correlates with increased susceptibility to H(2)O(2) and a superoxide generator and is avirulent in a plant model system. katG expression is induced by oxidants in an OxyR-dependent manner.
野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种的katG编码一种过氧化氢酶-过氧化物酶,该酶在保护细菌免受微摩尔浓度的H₂O₂影响方面发挥作用。katG中的敲除突变导致过氧化氢酶-过氧化物酶活性丧失,这与对H₂O₂和超氧化物产生剂的敏感性增加相关,并且在植物模型系统中无毒性。katG的表达由氧化剂以OxyR依赖的方式诱导。
